There was a heatwave in the City of Quebec in Canada.  There was a period of 6 days in a row where the temperate reached 35o C (95.0 f).  The usual average temperatures in Quebec during July are around the mid 70o f, or 21o C.  So you can see that this heatwave was much hotter than usual.

The Humidex value was recorded at 47, which was the highest ever recorded in the City.

The Earth is made up of four layers.  They are:
Crust
Mantle
Outer Core
Inner Core

# data[].attributes.body
Plate Tectonics is the theory that the Earth's outer shell, the lithosphere is divided into smaller plates and these glide over the Mantle.

Earthquakes occur when two Tectonic Plates move against each other in different directions.

Tsunami's occur following an underwater earthquake or underwater volcano erupting.  Once the wave reaches the surface of the water, gravity pushes the wave two separate ways, so there are two different spots at risk of the Tsunami hitting.

A volcano is a mountain that opens downwards to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the Earth.  When pressure builds up an eruption occurs.  In an eruption, gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments.

How can we lower the impact of this type of natural disaster in the future?
Unfortunately this type of Natural Disaster cannot be avoided in the future.

A heat wave occurs when a system of high atmospheric pressure moves into an area. In such a high-pressure system, air from upper levels of our atmosphere is pulled toward the ground, where it becomes compressed and increases in temperature. ... The high-pressure inhibits winds, making them faint-to-nonexistent.
